Oracle, like DB/2 can' t set it to on. The autocommit ***on***  in ORA ODBC is a trick.
It simply silently adds commit once in a while (after every statement).
But please to make the vokabulary easy don't refer to begin, but to 'begin work'
in this context. 'begin' will mean begin a statement block, not a transaction block.
